Hello new channels users - we're more than overdue for a new blog post. We've been hard at work taking care of bugfixes & the other remaining items from our to-do list, and we've got a few new things out today:

Video & playlist reordering - you can now reorder your uploads, favorites, and list of playlists - just click on grid view in the upper-right corner of the video navigator, choose which set of videos you want to reorder (uploads, favorites, playlists), then click on the "arrange" link

Default to grid view - you can now choose to have your channel default to showing videos in grid view when viewers land on your channel. Things will switch back to player view as soon as users click on a specific video.

9/1 update: The full screen button is now available

9/1 update: Partners can now customize the height of their banner

And some of the more significant bug fixes we've pushed out in the past few weeks:

Fixed a case where the scrollbar sometimes wouldn't appear in the info box

The handful of people with missing video navigators should now be fixed - let us know if you're not

Can now add a video to a new playlist

So when's the new final date to convert all remaining old channels to new channels? We're getting closer, but we still have a few more things to do. Stay tuned - and thanks again for continuing to share your feedback and awesome bug reports!
